Homemade Dulce De Leche - milk

Method

• Combine milk, water and sugar in a large saucepot over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add baking soda. Bring mixture to a slight simmer. Reduce heat to low but maintain the slight simmer. Stir occasionally (every 20 minutes or so).
• Continue cooking until mixture is caramel-colored and thick (about 3 to 4 hours). Add vanilla and stir thoroughly. Pour into a container and store in the refrigerator for up to a month-if it lasts that long. Makes about 2 cups of sauce.
